This pattern is quick to work up as it uses a chunky yarn. These gorgeous daisy granny squares would be perfect for a blanket, throw or to turn into a cardigan. I am going to be turning mine into a cardigan using a pattern from All About Ami. You can find the free pattern on her blog here – https://www.allaboutami.com/cozy-days-daisy-cardigan-part-1/

Hi Everyone!

This hat is really easy to make and will work up really quickly if you use a chunkier yarn. It can be made in any size (from tiny baby to adult). I have made up a handy size chart that should be able to help you with your sizing.

To make the brim – Work 1 HTC into the first stitch of the round then work 1HTC in the 3Lp of each stitch of the round (see YouTube video if you are unsure where to work your stitches). Join the round with a SS and CH 1. Keep working around until your hat brim reaches the desired length that you would like.
